Due to waning participation in Monday night bingo, Marion VFW Post 12022 will no longer host the weekly game.
Post Quartermaster William Clarke said Monday will be the final bingo night. Since first hosting bingo six years ago, the post has donated money raised through the game to numerous veteran and community organizations. But patrization has dwindled to a point of diminishing return.
“You can’t pay out more than you taken in,” said Clarke, adding that the post is appreciative of support it has received from bingo players.
The post will now rely on raffles and yard sales to raise money for its civic donations.
